Definitions
- ABSTRACT This invention is a one piece hanger for garments having waistbands.
- the hanger has a cross-beam which is carried by a centrally located hook; and, from each end of the beam, three co-operating fingers depend for gripping the waist-band.
- Each finger is provided with three spaced, outwardly projecting ribs for retaining the waist-band.
- a horizontal supporting bar can be providedbelow the fingers so that lengthy garments may be folded over it.
- This invention relates to one-piece hangers for trousers, skirts, and the like.
- the invention relates to hangers which display trousers for retail sales in a manner which shows all of the significant features of the trousers.
- this prior art hanger like many others in the prior art has the deficiency that it does not securely and tightly grip the garment, i.e., the fingers do not have sufficient gripping means so that a garment could be placed on a display rack and removed and examined several times without falling off.
- the prospective customer for trousers is interested in all of the features of the trousers. This includes the construction of the belt loops, the manner in which the pockets are set in, and the shape and style of the leg and cuff portion of the trousers.
- a customer normally sees only one portion of the trousers without having to remove them from the display rack. Therefore, it is another object of the present invention to provide a hanger which will advantageously display the features of the trousers.
- Each finger may be provided with a plurality of ribs and a preferred number of ribs is three.
- the outer surface of each rib can be provided with friction means for further securing the garment.
- the present invention is a onepiece hanger for trousers and the like which comprises,
- the waist-band gripping means comprises two spaced apart outer fingers which are joined at their lower extremities to form a U-shaped member.
- the U-shaped member is in a plane displaced to the side of the plane of the cross-beam.
- a finger centrally located with respect to the two outer fingers and the central finger is displaced to the other side of the cross-beam and is curved as it depends from the crossbeam.
- cooperating means are provided for securing the waist-band of trousers and the like between the fingers.
- the cooper ating means comprises a plurality of ribs projecting out wardly from coextensive portions of the lower part of each of the fingers.
- the present invention is a dis play hanger for trousers and the: like which provides means for securely gripping the waist-band of the trousers and means for displaying the: leg and cuff portion of the trousers.
- FIG. 1 is a front plan view of my one-piece hanger
- FIG. 2 is a broken fragment of the reverse side of the hanger of FIG. 1 showing one of the gripping means;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view along line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along 5-5 of FIG. 1;

- FIG. 7 is the back plan view of the hanger shown in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the hanger of FIG. 6 showing a pair of trousers secured to said hanger.
- FIG. 1 Hanger 1 is shown with cross-beam 19 carried by hook 2 having waist-band,
- the gripping means depending from each end of crossbeam 19.

- the securing ribs 11, 12 and 13 are shown here on the central resilient finger.
- FIG. 3 which is a sectional view of the hanger of FIG. 1 looking along lines 3-3, the displacement of fingers 6 and 7 from the plane of cross-beam 19 can be clearly seen.
- the central resilient finger 6 is attached to one side of the cross-beam and as it depends it goes through the plane of the cross-beam and into and coincident with the plane of outer finger '7.
- Outer finger 7 is attached to the other side of cross-beam 19 and depends straight downwardly in a plane displaced to one side of the plane of cross-beam 19.
- Indentations 15 in the outer surfaces of ribs 12 and 16 serve as additional friction means for securely holding the waist-band of a garment.
- the cross section of the connecting bar 22 which carries the auxiliary rib 18 is also seen.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of FIG. 1.
- the displacement of outer finger 7 from crossbeam 19 can be appreciated and, also shown is the friction means 15 on ribs 17.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along line 55 of FIG. 1. The arrangement and detailed construction of ribs 11, 12, and 13 of central resilient finger 6 are presented here.
- the one-piece construction of my invention is achieved by injection molding the hanger from a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene.
- a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene
- other plastic materials may also be used and the hanger according to my invention could even be made from molded light-weight metal. All of the molding techniques are well within the skill of those familiar with injection molding.
- Hanger 31 has cross-beam 30 to which is centrally attached hanger hook 32.
- Waist-band gripping means depend from each end of cross-beam 30.
- One means comprises the two outer fingers 33 and the central resilient finger 34.
- Outer fingers 33 are connected below resilient finger 34 to form a U- shaped member.
- Outer fingers 33 have,on their lower portion, cooperating means for securing the waist-band of trousers and these means are the ribs 35, 36, and 37. Still viewing FIG.
- a connecting member 39 is connected to outer finger 38 and the connecting member 39 extends outwardly and downwardly from its juncture with the connecting bar and outer finger 38.
